Unsere Zeit (UZ) is a weekly newspaper published by the German Communist Party.

[3] The weekly paper co-operates with the small German newspaper junge Welt.

In 1989, after funding from the SED was discontinued, daily publication ceased and around forty employees were dismissed.

[4] From January 1990, the UZ was published as a weekly newspaper, between summer 1990 and July 1996 on a fortnightly basis and initially with a circulation of 20,000 copies (1990).

[7] Since 1973, it has attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors and nationally famous musicians such as Konstantin Wecker and Hannes Wader.
